I have no idea how this hotel got such a high rating on multiple sites. Save your money and go elsewhere. This was supposed to be a romantic weekend get away for my wife and I but the hotel ended up being a tremendous disappointment. I ll walk you through it. Started off by getting in late on Friday night after work. We were welcomed to Beaver Run by waiting in line for 10-15 minutes while the one (unfriendly) employee assisted the people in front of me. There were only two people though and one of them just had a quick question. Multiple other employees came through the front desk area but none offered to help. After finally finding the unmarked, barely lit parking garage in the next building over, we hauled our stuff through the habit trail to our room. We walked in to discover it was set to bake . The thermostat was quickly turned down but it was sweltering through out the night. No sooner to did we sink into the trenches on either side of the matteress and turned out the light we realized that the door had about a 1.5 gap between the bottom of the door and the floor. Pillows were hastily erected to form a light and sound barrier. Speaking of sound- have you ever wondered what it would be like to stay in a hotel where you can hear every word, door closing, and movement of the other guests while there is a kids karate tournament at the hotel?? You are in luck because this Beaver Run offers you that opportunity! Between the 40 year old bed that tried to suck you in and left you sore and miserable in the morning, the noise, and the heat we barely slept either night.

On Saturday morning we walked down the hill to town and enjoyed a nice morning in Breck. We saw that there were Beaver Run buses running around town but had not been told that they were available. Step 1 in hotel management: Inform your guests of all the ammenities. When we got back to the hotel I went to the front desk to ask about the shuttle. I waited in line yet again, gave up and looked for a flyer on the buses to see if there was info. It said go the front desk. Of course it would. Because mentioning times and pickups in a convenient way would have been too hard. We ended up catching the bus as we walked out and spoke with the driver. It was actually a very conveinent service. Would not have known it though from the information provided.

The antiquated room must have had a previous history in the adult film industry. Looking past the aged kitcenette and worn out furniture, the spa dominated the room. It was quite literally a small tub (they Jacuizzi but I think thats strectching it a bit) in its own, glassed in room, in the middle of the unit. It went door/bed/shower/ sitting area. It had a creepy ass mirror on one side and chrome (I am not kidding) blinds that didn t actually close all the way. When it time to use the shower (the head came out of the ceiling and was supposed to fall in the tub) it was discovered that the head could not be aimed into the tub. It would flood the room intead. So that was fun.

Clearly this hotel holds appeal because of the supposed ski in/ out access (it is hillside). But the odd layout would make it a pain in the ass to carry anything more then a paper back book through the resort. I cannot say enough negative things about this hotel. It is a horrible hotel in desperate need of friendly employees and a major renovation (both units and common areas). Save your money and go elsewhere. We seriously considered going to a different hotel the second night but for another $170 on top of what I had already paid was not feasible.
